Longevity starts with learning

"Pass the order down, all units rest for a quarter of an hour."

"After a quarter of an hour, enter the mountain!"

Li Jinghong looked stern, as if he didn't notice the low morale of the patrol officers at all, and gave the order.

He Ping hesitated for a while, then mustered up the courage to advise:

"Sir, the bandits dared to ambush like this, they must have completely controlled Qili Village, otherwise send someone back to the county to explain the situation and wait for the support to arrive."

Li Jinghong looked at He Ping and questioned: "Qili Village has only more than 30 households, less than 30 able-bodied men, and we have 200 armored soldiers, what are we afraid of?"

After that, Li Jinghong said to himself:

"The rioters in Qili Village violently resisted the tax collection, ignored the majesty of the court, killed the inspectors, and ambushed and killed dozens of imperial inspectors..."

"Such behavior is tantamount to treason!"

"If the rebels are not punished, when will they be punished?"

Hearing this, He Ping was slightly stunned, and then immediately reacted. The inspection from above is about to arrive. If we don't clean up our butts quickly, if we are discovered by the people above, we will all lose our heads!

Then, He Ping asked tentatively: "Sir, do you want to send someone to investigate?"

"If the rebels had not ambushed us just now, I might have been a little afraid!"

"But the rebels did not take advantage of such a good opportunity just now, which means that the rebels did not dare to confront us head-on, but were just bluffing to make us afraid!"

"In that case, what is there to be afraid of!"

While speaking, Li Jinghong glanced at the inspectors who were demoralized: "Go and tell them that in this battle, anyone who dares not obey the military order and shakes the army will be killed, and his whole family will be sent to forced labor camps!"

"In addition, this battle is to suppress the rebels, and the court should be rewarded according to the military merits. You should also notify them."

"I obey your orders."

He Ping clasped his fists in response and left.

When the order was issued, this temporary stationing place was also noisy, but soon, under the deterrence of the military order, the noise turned into whispers.

The deterrent of "all who are executed by military order" lies in the individual, while the deterrent of corvée and hard labor camp undoubtedly completely cuts off the retreat of the corvée on the spot.

Although the corvée in the mine is hard, normally, the chance of safely serving half a year of corvée is not small.

But the corvée and hard labor camp is obviously completely different.

The so-called corvée and hard labor camp refers to the place where criminals work after being sent to the mine.

You have to work in the hard labor camp for the same number of years you are sentenced to.

In a sense, the life of a normal corvée is still quite valuable. If you die in the mine, Qinghe County will give you a pension.

But the corvée in the corvée and hard labor camp is obviously completely different.

What is the most dangerous job in the mine? That is the job that the corvée in the hard labor camp does.

If you die, you die. Your life is like grass and is not worth mentioning!

With such a punishment, who can not be afraid if there are parents and children?

Chu Mu was alone, and although he was shocked by the punishment, he didn't care too much.

What he cared about was what He Ping said just now about the rewards according to the court's military merits!

The patrol was originally a half-military position, so he naturally knew about the so-called rewards for military merits of the court.

Below the sergeant, the military merit was calculated by beheading.

For the sergeant and above, the military merit was calculated by command. For example, in a war, the sergeant or a higher-level general commanded the battle losses of the headquarters, the results of the battle, and the obedience of the orders...

The main thing was the positive and negative calculation of gains and losses, and Chu Mu didn't know much about it.

But Chu Mu knew a lot about the military merit system of beheading below the sergeant.

After all, he was just a small soldier...

According to the reward system, ordinary soldiers, in a war, beheading one level, will be rewarded with thirty silver, and parents and children will be exempted from corvee labor for three years.

Beheading five levels, the military rank will be promoted by one level, parents and children will be exempted from corvee labor for ten years, and rewarded with two hundred silver.

Behead ten levels, military rank will be promoted by two levels, parents and children will be exempted from corvée for life, and rewarded with ten gold!

As for beheading accomplices, military rank will not be promoted, but gold and silver rewards will be given according to the number of heads.

There is no doubt that this system of military merit reward gives the lower-level soldiers an opportunity to almost ascend to heaven in one step.

Behead ten levels, and the military rank will be promoted by two levels!

Directly from an ordinary soldier to a squad leader, with dozens of soldiers under his command!

Like in an ordinary town, there are only dozens of patrol soldiers in total, which is only a squad organization. The squad leader is almost the sky of the town!

Even in an important place like Nanshan Town, the organization is special, but there are only two hundred households, nearly five hundred patrols, and only a dozen squad leaders in total.

This is undoubtedly beyond Chu Mu's expectations.

After all, the court's military merit reward system is aimed at major troubles that have been registered with the court.

For example, the rebels that swept across the land and alarmed the court, such as the war against the barbarians.

This kind of small fight in a small village has nothing to do with the imperial court's military merit reward system.

At most, the county will formulate some rewards on its own.

More likely, it is the normal accumulation of merits and promotion in the system of the Inspection Office.

According to Chu Mu's original idea, he should show his ability and try to get into the eyes of the people above.

If some people die this time, some seats will be vacated, and see if he can have a chance to sit.

Of course, the premise of all this is to ensure his own safety.

Just like the sudden attack of arrow rain just now, he must ensure his own safety first.

But such a big sweet date fell on him.

The date is too big and sweet!

Chu Mu was very tempted.

This real reward is undoubtedly much more realistic than Li Gang's personal and illusory promise.

Although he does not have much desire for power and status,

After being in this world for more than a month, it is not difficult to see that in this era, without rights and status, a person is really not a person!

Even without certain rights and status, many things cannot be seen!

Now that the opportunity to fight for power and status is before him, how can he not be tempted?

Chu Mu took a bite of the dry food that was handed out and chewed it slowly, his eyes twinkling as if he had become determined.

Wealth and wealth are found in danger.

He is alone in this world.

Being helpless means that nothing in this world can be gained without hard work.

If you want to get something, you have to give something.

This risk is worth taking!

After swallowing the last mouthful of dry food, Chu Mu grabbed a handful of snow and rubbed his face hard.

The bone-deep coldness also stimulated Chu Mu's nerves with the rubbing of his palms.

Chu Mu was very conscious and confirmed that he was not filled with passion.

"Brother Mu, are you ready to give it a try?"

Xu Yuan looked at Chu Mu worriedly.

"right."

Chu Mu nodded firmly.

Then he patted Xu Yuan on the shoulder and said seriously: "Don't be afraid. I have read the geographical records of the area before. There are only about thirty households in Qili Village. They have been forced into corvee several times. Now the number of people is absolutely not much."

"Those who dare to rebel are definitely a minority!"

"There are so many of us, so as long as you hide behind and don't rush too far forward, there shouldn't be much danger if you just pretend."

"Brother Mu..."

Xu Yuan wanted to persuade, but was stopped by Chu Mu.

"Don't worry, kid, I cherish my life much more than you do, and I won't mess around."

Chu Mu looked equally serious. He was not passionate and he was very self-aware.

This is just a preliminary choice made after distinguishing the gains and losses of interests.

If the real thing cannot be done, he will not act recklessly and will continue to weigh the gains and losses.
